3 NPO UTILIZATION At each event, individual Non- Profit groups will be assigned a concession stand or portable location M&T Bank Stadium to work. Stand size, concept, and location will be determined by management and will be based on the NPO group s capabilities, availability, size, etc. All NPO group members must complete certain training classes in order to work. Training will be provided by ARAMARK prior to the season starting. Additional training will be provided as needed. ARAMARK management will ensure each group has completed all required training and will assist groups in the management of their stands. It will be each group s responsibility to show up approximately 4 hours before the gates open and begin their pre- game activities. These activities include completing opening inventory, setting up the registers and food preparation. Once the gates open, each group will be in charge of operating their stand until the closing of their stand. ARAMARK managers will guide all groups through the event day pre- counts and setup. Once ARAMARK management has determined that it is time to close the stand, it will be the NPO group s responsibility to close out their stand. These activities include, but are not limited to, closing out all registers, cleaning the stand, and completing a closing inventory with ARAMARK managers. 3
